Do you drink the cereal-flavored milk straight from the bowl? I grew up doing this because my parents taught me how good that milk tastes. As I’ve gotten older, I feel a little self-conscious about doing it in public. It’s not something I notice other non-children doing.

Editing to add: I do drink the milk from the bowl. As to when I'm eating it "in public:" hotels mostly. Self-conscious was probably the wrong word. I'm more wondering if people silently judge a grown person drinking cereal milk from the bowl. Not losing sleep if they do, just curious.

If you were asking this to a global audience, it would definitely be an extreme minority. About 70% of the adult population of the world is lactose intolerant.

I just like mentioning that statistic because white people usually don't believe me. 😁

I'm white, lactose intolerant, and drink the oat milk from the bowl when I have cereal.
I encourage the kids to do the same with their cows milk.

I'm not lactose intolerant but I've ibd and depending on how my disease is going I might not be able to drink milk, I'm also white. I thought lactose intolerance was widely known about?

Most people don't realize that lactose tolerance is the unusual condition. I do think most people know lactose intolerance exists though, yeah.
